Garlic Naan

by ila on March 4, 2013

It’s a stovetop version of Naan, this is something I always make whenever I invite my friends for  lunch or dinner. It’s not only easy to make and but also a good surprise for them.

I also have this often at our office cafeteria. They serve it with mint chutney and lentil curry or grilled Chicken, which is also a good combination.

You can also grill the bread or make it in oven, but I prefer stovetop because naan comes out very soft/fluffy and also save your time specially when you have guests at home.

    I tried it today-got to say the amounts are a bit ‘off’.. at first, there was WAY too much flour vs liquid.. added more.. then too wet, added more flour, consistency was really hard to find.. I thought it was a bust. Sat near the woodstove for 1-1/2 hours.. it did double.. although not as ‘smooth’ as I like.. made 8 naan’s.. brushed the pan w oil, followed instructions.. once turned, used lid to ‘steam’ a bit; 1/2 of them, I added crushed garlic.. at the end, I dusted w sea salt and pepper.. it def needed the sea salt.. I was prepared to be disappointed.. but? NO WAY! was AWESOME! soooooo chewy.. great recipe! (although I still think the flour/water ratio is off)

      Dear Jennifer, I can completely understand your problem. I normally use Pyrex cup to measure ingredients and note it down immediately But in this case I should have used weight for flour and ml for water instead of using cup. I will definitely update the post. But I have to make garlic bread again, and I will make it asap for sure :) Thank you so much for your appreciation. I am glad that you are happy with the recipe.

      When making any kind of bread, you wil almost never add the same amount of water when you make it. Daily climate (drynes or humidity) will effect it as well as altitude and reigon. It’s best to keep the flour measurement consistent and add water until desired consistency.
